The Founders: Their Disagreements, the Constitution, and America Today, ft. Dr. Theodore Madrid

Happy Fourth of July! On this semiquincentennial anniversary of our nation's founding, I sat down with Dr. Theodore Madrid of Hillsdale College. He and I discussed the disagreements that our founders have with each other, the compromises that they made, the ways those arguments spilled into our conversation, and what it all means for us today.
